Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a plate-type heat exchanger that has a high heat exchange rate due to a substantially uniform flow rate of fluid in the width direction of a heat transfer part. The problem is solved by a plate-type heat exchanger that comprises a flow path between a plurality of laminated heat transfer plates and exchanges heat between fluids flowing in respective two flow paths that are adjacent via a heat transfer plate. The heat transfer plates include at least two types of a first heat transfer plate and a second heat transfer plate. The first heat transfer plate comprises a first heat transfer part, a first supply part, and a first discharge part. The second heat transfer plate comprises a second heat transfer part, a second supply part, and a second discharge part. The first supply part is present at the center of the first heat transfer part in the width direction, and the second supply part is present next to the first heat transfer part in the width direction.

The flow channel plate 20 comprises a plurality of narrow cooling passages 28 placed vertically and horizontally. The orifice plate 22 comprises: an ejection hole 30 for ejecting refrigerant to the narrow cooling passages 28, and an exhaust hole 32 for exhausting refrigerant from the narrow cooling passages 28. The header plate 24 comprises a partition plate 36 that partitions the inflow port 14a and the outflow port 14b. The partition plate 36 has: a plurality of parallel plates 38; and a first end plate 40 and a second end plate 42 for alternately blocking one opening and the other opening of the parallel plate 38. An inflow path 44 that guides the refrigerant from the inflow port 14a to the ejection hole 30, and an outflow path 46 that guides the refrigerant from the exhaust hole 32 to the outflow port 14b are formed by the partition plate 36 and a peripheral wall 34.

Abstract

A steam injector provided with: an introduction part which introduces a liquid flow of a refrigerant and a steam flow of the refrigerant; a mixing part which has a shape with an interior cross-sectional area decreasing in the direction of movement of the liquid flow, and forms a refrigerant flow by mixing the jet-like liquid flow and the steam flow therein; a throat part which is formed on the output side of the mixing part; and a diffuser part which has a shape with an interior cross-sectional area increasing from the throat part in the direction of the movement of the refrigerant flow, and discharges the refrigerant flow with an increased pressure from a discharge section, wherein the interior cross-sectional area of the throat part is a cross-sectional area smaller than a critical cross-sectional area at which the discharge pressure of the refrigerant flow discharged from the discharge section of the diffuser part nonlinearly increases when the interior cross-sectional area of the throat part is reduced.

Abstract

A weighing hopper includes a tubular main body having an upper end opening constituting a loading port and a lower end opening constituting a dispensing port and a gate provided on the main body swingably in such a way that the gate opens/closes the dispensing port, wherein the main body and the gate are formed by bending components after joining the components by diffusion.

Abstract

A measuring hopper (10) comprising: a cylindrical main body (20) in which an upper-end opening constitutes a loading port (23) and a lower-end opening constitutes a dispensing port (24); and a gate (30) swingably disposed on the main body (20) so as to open or close the dispensing port (24). Therein, the main body (20) and the gate (30) undergo bending and shaping after the constituent members have been joined together by diffusion bonding.

Abstract

A method for bonding two plate-shaped members, comprising: a cutting step for cutting a plate-shaped body (100) to produce one plate-shaped member (28) in which a convex part (283) continuous to a cut surface (282) is formed on one flat surface (281) in a cut-side end part (28a); and a bonding step for causing the convex part to undergo plastic deformation until contact is made with the bonding surface (275) of another plate-shaped member (27), the bonding surface being the surface to be bonded, in a state in which the flat surface of the one plate-shaped member, the flat surface being one on which the convex part is formed, is brought into contact with the bonding surface, and then bringing the one plate-shaped member into close contact with the other plate-shaped member to bond the two members together using plastic deformation and surface diffusion action so as to fill a space (S) formed between the convex part in contact with the bonding surface and the flat surface in contact with the bonding surface.
